@jetdv Thank you very much sir! It worked.

@Thiago_Sase, I later tested it and then created a tutorial based on it. It will be coming up in a few weeks.

@jetdv Very good news! Thank you.

@jetdv Please sir, if you can help, I watched these tutorials;

How to get the list of effects:
How to add an effect and pick a preset:
Add Generated Media to the timeline:

But, I can't make it work picking the preset of the Media Generator as the same as an effect.

When i use the script the Media generator (legacy text) is added in the timeline but the Preset is not.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Runtime;
using System.Xml;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;


namespace Test_Script
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public Vegas myVegas;
        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            Track myTrack = myVegas.Project.Tracks[0];

            string genUID = "{0FE8789D-0C47-442A-AFB0-0DAF97669317}";
            int presetCount = 3;
            PlugInNode plugIn = null;
            plugIn = myVegas.Generators.GetChildByUniqueID(genUID);

            Media media = new Media(plugIn);
            MediaStream stream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType(MediaType.Video, 0);
            VideoEvent newEvent = new VideoEvent(myVegas.Transport.CursorPosition, Timecode.FromSeconds(10));
            myTrack.Events.Add(newEvent);
            Take take = new Take(stream);
            newEvent.Takes.Add(take);

            Effect effect = new Effect(plugIn);
            newEvent.Effects.Add(effect);

            effect.Preset = effect.Presets[presetCount].Name;

        }

    }
}


public class EntryPoint
{
    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
    {
        Test_Script.Class1 test = new Test_Script.Class1();
        test.Main(vegas);
    }
}

The mistakes are in these lines?;

Effect effect = new Effect(plugIn);
            newEvent.Effects.Add(effect);

            effect.Preset = effect.Presets[presetCount].Name;

The script is about insert the media generator legacy text with the preset soft shadow or any other preset.

Try this:
 

            string genUID = "{Svfx:com.vegascreativesoftware:titlesandtext}"; //Magix Titles & Text
            int presetCount = 3;
            PlugInNode plugIn = null;
            plugIn = myVegas.Generators.GetChildByUniqueID(genUID);

            Media media = new Media(plugIn);
            MediaStream stream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType(MediaType.Video, 0);
            VideoEvent newEvent = new VideoEvent(myVegas.Transport.CursorPosition, Timecode.FromSeconds(15));
            Mtrack.Events.Add(newEvent);
            Take take = new Take(stream);
            newEvent.Takes.Add(take);

            Effect gEffect = newEvent.ActiveTake.Media.Generator;
            gEffect.Preset = gEffect.Presets[presetCount]

@jetdv This line;

  gEffect.Preset = gEffect.Presets[presetCount];

Gives the error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'ScriptPortal.Vegas.EffectPreset' to 'string'.

Sorry, left off the .Name...

            Effect gEffect = newEvent.ActiveTake.Media.Generator;
            gEffect.Preset = gEffect.Presets[presetCount].Name;

@jetdv It worked Sir. Thank you very much!

foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                foreach (TrackEvent vEvnt in myTrack.Events)
                {
                    if (vEvnt.Selected)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("AAA cugo");
                        vEvnt.FadeIn.RemoveTransition();
                        myVegas.UpdateUI();
                        MessageBox.Show("AAAvvvvv");
                        vEvnt.FadeOut.RemoveTransition();
                        myVegas.UpdateUI();
                        MessageBox.Show("AAAcccc");
                    }
                }
            }

For example. I have one video event. This event has FadeIn and FadeOut transitions. I want them to remove, but unfortunately I am not able to remove them using above script. Is it something wrong with the script or maybe it is Vegas Pro 21 & Vegas Pro 22 bug?

@marcinzm you need to change this line:

foreach (TrackEvent vEvnt in myTrack.Events)

to:

foreach (VideoEvent vEvnt in myTrack.Events)

You have to be looking at "VideoEvent"s to be able to remove the transitions. It does not work with "TrackEvent" or "AudioEvent".

It doesn't work also for VideoEvent. Initially I tried to launch your code from 8/4/2024 1:02 AM, but unfortunately it doesn't work for Vegas Pro 21 & 22.

Can you check it if this problem occurs on your PC, maybe it is only my PC issue?

@marcinzm Yes, this works just fine (with TrackEvent, VideoEvent, or AudioEvent - I just double-checked) in VEGAS Pro 22:

        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                if (myTrack.IsVideo())
                {
                    foreach (TrackEvent vEvnt in myTrack.Events)
                    {
                        if (vEvnt.Selected)
                        {
                            vEvnt.FadeIn.RemoveTransition();
                            myVegas.UpdateUI(); //not really needed
                            vEvnt.FadeOut.RemoveTransition();
                            myVegas.UpdateUI(); //not really needed
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

I had an event fade in and added a transition on the event fade out and the transition was removed.

Now, it won't remove a CROSSFADE. To do that you'd need to add:

        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                if (myTrack.IsVideo())
                {
                    foreach (TrackEvent vEvnt in myTrack.Events)
                    {
                        if (vEvnt.Selected)
                        {
                            vEvnt.FadeIn.RemoveTransition();
                            vEvnt.FadeIn.Length = Timecode.FromFrames(0);

                            vEvnt.FadeOut.RemoveTransition();
                            vEvnt.FadeOut.Length = Timecode.FromFrames(0);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

So if you want to remove crossfades on audio too, just remove my check for "if (myTrack.IsVideo())".

@marcinzm A while ago, I wrote this code to delete fade in / out and CrossFade. It was possible thanks to the amazing lessons from @jetdv YouTube Channel. It is not perfect, but it works good. @jetdv Thanks again, Sir.

void RemoveFadeCrossFade(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;
            List<TrackEvent> selectedEvents = new List<TrackEvent>();

            // Collect all selected events in the proper sequence
            foreach (Track track in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                if (track.IsAudio() || track.IsVideo())
                {
                    foreach (TrackEvent trackEvent in track.Events)
                    {
                        if (trackEvent.Selected)
                        {
                            // Do not add the audio event if it's grouped with a video event
                            if (trackEvent.Track.IsAudio() && IsPartOfGroupedVideo(trackEvent))
                            {
                                continue; // Skip adding the grouped audio event
                            }

                            selectedEvents.Add(trackEvent);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            // Handle crossfade and fade removals for video and audio events
            for (int i = 0; i < selectedEvents.Count; i++)
            {
                TrackEvent currentEvent = selectedEvents[i];
                TrackEvent nextEvent = i + 1 < selectedEvents.Count ? selectedEvents[i + 1] : null;

                // Remove fades for the current event
                RemoveFades(currentEvent);

                if (nextEvent != null)

                            nextEvent.Start += overlap; // Adjust start without affecting position sequence
                        }

                        // Remove fades from the next event as well
                        RemoveFades(nextEvent);
                    }
                }

            {
                trackEvent.FadeOut.Length = Timecode.FromMilliseconds(0);
            }
        }

        private bool IsGroupedAndAudio(TrackEvent event1, TrackEvent event2)
        {
            // If both events are grouped and one is an audio event, return true

                {
                    return true; // Audio event, so we do not want to move it
                }
            }

                        {
                            return true; // Audio event is grouped with a video event
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return false;
        }

        // New method to handle audio events specifically
        public void ProcessAudioEvents()

        }

Thank you all for your codes.

@jetdv It is very weird that this single line

Evnt.FadeIn.RemoveTransition();

doesn't work itself.

it is every weird too that this line needs to be added:

vEvnt.FadeIn.Length = Timecode.FromFrames(0);

It is in my opinion illogical, but I have just checked that it works. Very very weird.

@marcinzm, they're TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

You can create a "fade in" or "fade out" and not have a transition on it.

Technically, you can have a transition with no fade in/out (you just won't see it.)

They work together but they are two different things. So, yes, it was initially removing the "Transition" but was not removing the "fade out". To remove a "fade out", you just set its length to "zero."

Tell me something gentlemen, can a script similar to the aboves be written to remove audio effects from selected audio events?

A script like that would also compliment these.

@Steve_Rhoden Audio Events don't have transitions. You can certainly change the fade in/out times, though.

@Steve_Rhoden Do you mean, a script only to remove the audio effects from selected audio events?
This script below does that.

 

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

namespace Test_Script
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public Vegas myVegas;

        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            try
            {
                foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
                {
                    if (myTrack.IsAudio())
                    {
                        foreach (AudioEvent aEvnt in myTrack.Events)
                        {
                            if (aEvnt.Selected)
                            {
                                aEvnt.Effects.Clear();
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("An error occurred: " + ex.Message, "Error");
            }
        }

    }

    public class EntryPoint
    {
        public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
        {
            Test_Script.Class1 test = new Test_Script.Class1();
            test.Main(vegas);
        }
    }
}

@Thiago_Sase, this post is about transitions... Audio doesn't have transitions. Just fade in, fade out, and crossfades.

@jetdv Yes, Sir, I understood that, thanks. Maybe, @Steve_Rhoden needs a script that removes fade in, fade out, crossfades and audio effects from selected events.

Thanks @Thiago_Sase, that's exactly what i meant. Want it to remove audio effects on selected audio events.

Gonna give your script a try.....

@Thiago_Sase That script works great. It's what i was looking for. Thanks.
